The Justice Department announced criminal charges Tuesday against Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other terrorists in connection with the Oct. 7, 2023, rampage in Israel.
The criminal complaint filed in federal court in New York City includes charges of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, resulting in death.
“The charges unsealed today are just one part of our effort to target every aspect of Hamas’ operations,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a video statement. “These actions will not be our last.”
Sinwar was appointed the overall head of Hamas after the killing of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and sits atop Israel’s most-wanted list. He is believed to have spent most of the past 10 months living in tunnels under Gaza, and it is unclear how much contact he has with the outside world.
Other Hamas leaders charged include Haniyeh; Marwan Issa, the deputy leader of Hamas’ armed wing in Gaza who helped plan last year’s attack; Khaled Mashaal, another Haniyeh deputy and a former leader of the group; Mohammed al-Masri and Ali Baraka.

Yeah? And so…..
Wo that is what I call swift action! Only took them 11 months…
Any Jew that votes for this administration and it’s cohorts should have their Jewish lineage examined very deeply. Eleven months and so many yiddishe lives cut short, and NOW they “charge”?? Meaningless, empty words, from a meaningless, empty senile president and anti semitic phony, fake, fraudulent vice president. Liars, haters, cheaters, every single one of them! You can fool some of the Jews some of the time, but you can’t ever fool the Eibeshter!
I’m sure the Hammas leaders are gigilling…….
What in the world will these claims have any effect on the Hammas leaders ?????
BTW. Several of those that are on this list have already been eliminated by the IDF many months ago. He says he will chase them “For the rest of their lives”, but it seems that even after their death he will keep on chasing them………..
Meaningless virtue signal in an election year. America needs to stop hampering Israels war and allow them to finish off Hamas, not file meaningless criminal charges. We need sinwar dead, not in court.
It’s a great and scary thing that the U.S. has done. The U.S. has limitless abilities and assets to pursue these charges. There is nowhere they can hide.
It is a great moment and citizens should be thankful to the U.S. and not chutzpadik.
